Just check it by looking at the code and running it, and there should
be no extra delay before the search is begun when pressing return. The
is an unavoidable delay since searching will start a new thread which
has to communicate back its results to the main program. (It's the
same with rendering: Compared to synchronous operation, there is a
noticeable delay, but the overall improved responsibility is worth it.)

As pressing return will shortcut any explicit delay, I don't think
another configurable setting is warranted.

If there really is a two second timer running out before the search
begins, this would be bug. Maybe someone can try to confirm this?

Best regards, Adam.

P.S.: Have you checked you configured shortcuts that nothing else
"eats up" the return key press? You could make sure by just resetting
the shortcuts to their defaults.
